Just to be contrary I bet my brother that Brown would win but I have no idea as to which way it will go. My understanding is that Coakley comes across as not the most likable candidate and didn't do all that she needed to do to close the deal-the gaffe about Schilling wasn't good.

But it seems surreal that a state which elected Ted Kennedy to the Senate God knows how many times is now torn between Coakely and Brown.

If Coakley loses there will be some recriminations, I know that.
If it's really close -like the Franken/Coleman election- maybe no one gets certified as Senator until much, much later and the health bill passes by the skin of its teeth.


"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungleā€”as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
